Down the Rabbit hole

While attending the Melissa Doise breast cancer walk for the first time ever, I was reminded about a time in my life that I almost managed to block out.

Before I begin, let me explain that I have never been drawn to any physical activity. CrossFit left me with kettlebell injuries and I rolled many an ankle in Zumba class. Yoga is the best fit for me, but I still spend most of my time in child’s pose.

It never made sense for me to run a 5K. The math does not add up.

But math is my worst subject, so in college I signed up for one.

Mark leads to identification of amnesia victim

Laundry identification marks and personal labels on his clothing proved the means of identifying John Nugent of Houston, Texas, an amnesia victim who was arrested at Welsh Saturday night by Marshal Gillett, without money or papers and unable to say who he was or from whence he came.

Sheriff Azenor Buller brought the man here and made a thorough checkup of the case and found the identification clues, and the sheriff at once got in touch with Houston officials and found out who he was. Some of his relatives are due to return him to Houston.
